Highlights
"After initial contact David phoned to make an appointment to view the roof and discuss our options. We were sent two quotes detailing the different materials that could be used and nearing the start date they emailed to let let us know a date and that a skip would be arriving. They made sure that a tarpaulin and wooden blocks were in place so that the block paving was not damaged. The workers were polite and courteous, they arrived on time and made sure before they left that everything was secure and tidy. We would have no hesitation in recommending David James Roofing."
"It’s just so nice to be able to trust and feel confident that firstly they knew what they were doing and secondly actually made me believe they wanted to do the job and a good one at that, three options quoted giving me room to decide what was best for me, no pressure just genuine advise offered. I was not disappointed the work was clean and of a high standard, taking the time to explain and provide pictures’ of work done due to proximity .. a fab job and would not hesitate to use again highly recommended"
"Not only repairing the ridge tiles, but the job required one of the valleys to be repaired. Alongside lifting and making good dime of the roof tiles. So professional, and friendly. The area they set up to work from was cleared away. Everything left as they found it - just a much needed repair. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company"

Roofing isn't licensed, so anyone can set up - and it's a trade with more than its share of cowboys. A big re-roof must meet building regulations; CompetentRoofer (the Government-authorised NFRC scheme) registers roofers who can self-certify that, and vets and inspects them at least twice a year. Check they're on it before you hire.
Check the CompetentRoofer registerNever agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note — that is the classic roofing scam.
Get a written quote that itemises access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee — not a vague day rate.
Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
